Hunting Cards! Star Dragon

You can't transform for a short period of time and can only act as a human, so it has no effect at all.

As long as no extremely special circumstances occur...you can give up being a human (fog) then.

"Well, meow, I suddenly thought of something, meow."

In order to break the awkward silence caused by the overly complicated relationship, Riko forced herself to find a topic.

"Do you know the reason why the relationship between the two villages is so bad, meow?"

"I've asked Grandma before," Wu Ren said. "But every time she got so angry she became incoherent. Once, she even fainted from high blood pressure. After that, I didn't dare ask anymore, and I couldn't get any answers."

"The hostility between the two villages, especially the older generations, is very strong," Jiu Yue echoed. "I remember a large-scale brawl broke out a few years ago, and it was eventually broken up by the village chiefs on both sides."

"Our current situation is really amazing." Xing Jian said.

Even though the elders from both villages hated each other so much, the young people from the two villages could still gather together, fight together, and then go to the top of the mountain to look for Yuexian Snow Lotus.

Will the chains of hatred fade with time?

"Actually, I've heard a little bit about it, meow."

"Oh? Tell me in detail." Wu Ren and Jiu Yue both cast curious glances.

Although they hated it, the elderly people who knew about it kept silent about the key points of the matter and showed a very resistant attitude.

This has led to the situation where most young people in the village only know that hatred exists, but do not know what hatred itself is.

Of course I am curious.

"Rumor has it, it might be Noshi-nyan." Riko scratched her cheek.

The topic was brought up to break the awkwardness, but Riko actually only had a vague understanding of it.

After all, there is a saying that official history may not be correct, but unofficial history is guaranteed to be unofficial.

"I heard, meow. The village chiefs on both sides were once lovers. They secretly pledged their love, but in the end, they couldn't be together. Their love turned to hate, leading to the current chaotic situation."

"Huh?" Jiu Yue and Wu Ren exchanged glances.

If I remember correctly, the village chiefs on both sides are old men in their 60s.

This wild history is too wild...

"Wait, I'm not sure." September suddenly realized.

The village chiefs on both sides, apart from being both old men in their 60s, have one thing in common: they are both still unmarried and have no children.

Jiu Yue's attitude suddenly became serious: "Is this unofficial history of yours authentic?"

"This is truly bizarre unofficial history!" Wu Ren shuddered, not knowing whether it was due to the low temperature or psychological rejection. "Two men? That's too weird. I can't accept it even if I die."

“=w=…”

Riko looked at Takehito with pity.

He probably doesn't know what he is talking about now.

Young man, if you speak too confidently, you will regret it.

"Hey, have you heard something else, meow?"

"Riko, you talk too much today." Takehito complained.

Shut up! It's because of your relationship that the atmosphere is so awkward.

"I heard there's a secret hot spring hidden near the top of the snowy mountain. It absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and just soaking in it will make your skin as smooth and soft as a newborn baby's."

"Is this authentic?" September's attitude was even more excited than before, and she was obviously more interested in this topic.

Although Jiu Yue's skin is not bad, even if it is not as smooth as a baby's, it is at least fair and clean.

But girls always have this kind of worry.

Especially in September, I often forge swords in high temperature environments, and I am always afraid that my skin will become dry and rough.

"Smooth and tender skin." Wu Ren couldn't help but look at Xing Jian again. The so-called skin so good that it can let light through probably refers to this feeling.

"It's just gossip, meow."

"Maybe this one is true." Xingjian sniffed and suddenly said, "It smells like sulfur."

When Xing Jian was a dragon, one of his few hobbies was to take a bath in the mountains, rivers and lakes.

So I still remember the wonderful sulfur smell that comes with the hot springs.

So the next step is the benefits?

Chapter 34: High Emotional Intelligence Training for Xingjian

It is very narrow at first but then it becomes passable. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly becomes clear.

“It actually exists!”

The warm steam hit September's excited cheeks, making the girl look particularly rosy.

There is a secret hot spring located in a cave. If it weren't for Xingjian's sense of smell being far superior to that of ordinary people, it would be difficult for the four of them to have the chance to encounter it.

"The water temperature is just right, meow~" Riko dipped her cat paw into the clear hot spring water and fished around.

"Gurgle." Jiu Yue has been swallowing her saliva since just now. It seems that she is really hungry.

This secret hot spring that can nourish the skin is extremely attractive to female knife makers.

"How about we have a drink before we continue our journey?" Jiu Yue expressed her inner desire.

"Riko wants meow too!" Even though she is a cat girl, Riko is still a girl after all, and she has certain requirements for the softness of her skin.

"It's okay to rest here for a while. I dragged you here anyway." Wu Ren replied very gentlemanly: "I'll go to the cave entrance to keep watch for you. You three can just soak in the bath for now."

There is a difference between men and women, and given the level of openness in the small village, it is far from the level of mixed bathing.

Although Hoshimi herself did not express any opinion, Wu Ren, who offered to stand guard outside, still directly classified Hoshimi as someone who could take a bath with Jiuyue and the others.

"No, I don't."

Xing Jian knew everything in his heart and there was no way he could stay like this.

After all, there was already a precedent for the first time.

"I'll go outside with you."

"Huh?" Wu Ren was stunned for a moment.

What does it mean?

Even if you have to give up such a precious opportunity as the secret hot spring, you still want to be alone with me?

"She can't be..." The three biggest misconceptions in life.

"That's right, Xingjian, go outside and keep an eye on him. Don't let him peek, meow!"

So that's what it means... simply a lack of confidence in someone's personality.

Wu Ren sighed and walked out of the cave, and Xingjian followed him out.

Outside the cave, tiny snowflakes have begun to fall from the sky, and with the unpredictable weather in the snowy mountains, these tiny snowflakes may turn into a blizzard at any time.

The first time he was alone with Hoshimi, Wu Ren felt his heartbeat gradually speed up.

Shouldn't we find some topics to talk about, like Riko did before?

But, I don’t know anything about Xingjian, so what can I talk about?

"Well, I really won't peek, I swear."

"Well, I believe you." Xingmian answered expressionlessly.

"Ah? You believe me..." Xing saw Wu Ren's overly straightforward answer, and he couldn't handle it. "Then why did you come out?"

"I don't want to hang out with them." You know, Xingjian always speaks the truth.

I guess Jiuyue and Riko would not allow Xingjian to come with them, so Xingjian came out to watch the snow on her own initiative.

We are very close to the top of the mountain. From here we can see the peaks in the distant clouds through the falling snow.

This was also the first time that Xingjian seriously appreciated the snow scene from a human perspective.

Xingjian is looking at the snow, and Wu Ren is looking at Xingjian.

Tiny snowflakes fell on the long, silver-white eyelashes, and were shaken off by the blinking of the ice-blue eyes.

The hot air exhaled from the pink lips, bright eyes and white teeth condensed into mist in the extreme cold and floated in the direction of the wind.

Wu Ren felt that he could watch like this for the rest of his life.

Perhaps feeling the overly enthusiastic gazes beside him, Xingjian withdrew his gaze from the top of the mountain and looked at Wu Ren again.

"Is there a problem?"

"No, it's okay." Wu Ren turned his face away in embarrassment after being caught peeping.

He hesitated and always felt like something was wrong.

During these two weeks, Jiuyue not only helped Xingjian to brush up on common sense about human society, but also taught Xingjian how to communicate with others with emotional intelligence.

For example, what does it mean to "read the air"?

When some people speak, they actually have hidden meanings, and you have to be able to hear the meaning hidden beneath the words.

Take Wu Ren now for example, he's obviously hiding something.

Xingjian's blue eyes swiveled around: "Could it be that you also want to take a hot spring bath?"

"No."

"Really? Not at all?"

"Even if I wanted to, it would be too embarrassing for me to take a hot spring bath alone and have you three wait for me."

You really want to take a hot spring bath. Having guessed the hidden meaning in Takehito's words, Xingjian felt that his learning of "reading the air" was very successful.

If you have a need, just raise it. Why are you hesitating?

"If you feel embarrassed to go alone, I can accompany you."

"Accompany me, accompany me, what to do?"

"Soak in a hot spring."

After all, it is one of the few hobbies he has when he is a dragon. In fact, Xingjian is also a little interested in the secret hot springs in the snow mountains.

Besides, if two men are together, there will never be another misunderstanding like the first time in September.

However, this time, the misunderstanding was even bigger.

Wu Ren retreated tremblingly, even beginning to wonder if he had died when he blocked the Ice Claw Dark Dragon's attack. What happened next was all a fantasy after his death.

Otherwise, how could it be so beautiful.

"Let's soak in the hot springs together..."

Looking at Xingjian's expressionless but seemingly extremely serious demeanor, the appearance of a beautiful silver-haired girl, and her body which was a little thinner than his own.

Wu Ren covered his nose to suppress his fantasy, but blood still leaked out from between his fingers.

"You are hurt?"

"No, no."

Wu Ren was still retreating awkwardly, not daring to let Xing Jian get close to him.

If Xingjian touches me now, I might really faint.

"She is indeed!"

The three major things in life... are not illusions!

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

Just when Wu Ren was being tormented by the fantasy of happiness and the pain of the flesh.

Inside the cave, the sharp explosions of Jiuyue and Riko were heard simultaneously.

"Is there a situation?"

Wu Ren immediately wiped the blood from his nose and said, "Xingjian, go in and take a look first."
